Chandrawati Devi on 28.3.1996 had made a fixed deposit of Rs. 72000/- with the Tata Iron and Steel Company Limittd. Jamshed-pur for a period of 3 years. Maturity date of deposit was 28.5.1999 and thereafter one amount was. payable to either or survivor. After death of both Dharamdeo Singh and Chandrawati Devi their eldest son, Hari Prasad Singh filed an application under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act. 1925 for grant of succession certificate in respect of aforesaid amount of fixed deposit dated 28.5.1996, which was registered as Succession Certificate Case No. 74 of 1999 before the District Judge. Jamshedpur. His two brothers and sister supported him and informed the Court that they had no objection to the grant of succession certificate to Hari Prasad Singh alone. However, by impugned order dated 2.2.2001 the said case was dismissed on the ground that both Dharamdeo Singh and Chandrawati Devi had fixed place of abode at the time of their death at village Maurikala. District-Mau in Uttar Pradesh and Head Office and Registered Office of Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited was at Mumbai and as such only Mau Court or Mumbai Court had jurisdiction to grant succession certificate. Jameshedpur Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the application and grant succession certificate as both the deceased had neither ordinarily resided at the time of death within the jurisdiction of this Court nor the amount was lying within the Jurisdiction of this Court. It is stated that appellants parents were permanently residing at Jamshedpur and the fixed deposit amount was also lying in Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited at Jamshedpur. It is stated that appellants parents were permanently residing at Jamshedpur and the fixed deposit amount was also lying in Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited at Jamshedpur. It was nobodys case that the said amount was payable only at the Head Office or Registered Office of Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited at Mumbai and not at Jamshedpur. In this regard if court had any doubt, a clarification could have been obtained from Tata Iron and Steel Companys Office at Jamshedpur, where the fixed deposit amount was lying. In my view, Court below was required to consider the aforesaid aspect and then to pass an appropriate order in respect of its Jurisdiction in accordance with law, I, therefore, set aside the impugned order dated 2.2.2001 and remit the matter to the Court below for consideration, If necessary, after giving opportunity to the parties to ad- duce further evidence, if any, and dispose of the case in accordance with law. Lower Court records must be sent down forthwith. 3. Matter remanded back.
